In a new development in the Raj Kundra pornography case where he got arrested for allegedly producing and distributing adult content on the OTT app, the public prosecutor has now informed the Bombay High Court the main reason behind his arrest. The public prosecutor told the court that Raj Kundra and his tech associate Ryan Thorpe got arrested as they have started 'destroying evidence'. The public prosecutor informed the court that Raj Kundra and Ryan Thorpe were deleting WhatsApp groups and chats to destroy the evidence and evade arrest. In fact, earlier, The Times Of India has also reported similar news that Raj Kundra had changed his phone in March this year and had thrown away his earlier phone over fears of being arrested then. On the other hand, earlier Raj Kundra's counsel Aabad Ponda had said that the Mumbai Police did not mention any deleting of chats in their first remand and questioned its noninclusion at that time. Meanwhile, at a hearing via video-conferencing, the public prosecutor Aruna Pai also informed the Bombay High Court that the Mumbai crime branch managed to seize '51 pornographic films' from the two apps that were being run by Kundra and his employees.
